"This is yet another example of the one-size-fits-all approach which gives the European Union a bad name in our Member States. With more than three-hundred types of soil in the European Union, how can we expect to cover them all by means of a single directive? Surely this is a prime example of an area in which we should allow Member States to determine their own legislation on the basis of their own soil types.
It is very disappointing that, with all the scientific expertise at its disposal, the European Commission has produced a legislative proposal which fails to take account of simple scientific facts. If the United Kingdom suffers floods and Greece suffers a heatwave during the course of one summer, it is obvious that the impact of those weather conditions on the soil in those Member States will be entirely different. The only real consequence of this proposal will be to tie up the agriculture industry in yet more red tape and burden it with yet more expense. It is frustrating that, yet again, the agricultural community will have to pay for the pursuit of useless uniformity."@en1
